A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub from Abdullah Bin Sinan and Ibn Bakeyr, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws , said, ‘He asws was asked about the Believer who kills the Believer deliberately, is there repentance for him? So he asws said: ‘If he killed him for his beliefs, so there is no repentance for him, and if had killed him due to anger, or for a reason for something from the affairs of the world, so his repentance is that he would be retaliated from it, and if he does not know of it, so he should go to the guardians of the killed one, so he confesses in their presence of the murder of their companions. So if they were to forgive from it, then he would not be killed, and he would give them the wergild, and emancipate a slave, and Fast for two moths consecutively, and feed sixty poor (people) as a repentance to Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic’.
